Samsung Says Bye to Centrino
Techtree News Staff, Jun 02, 2005 1324 hrs ISTSamsung's new X20 laptops are based on Airgo's high-performance, cost-effective & power-efficient True MIMO chipset.
Samsung will ship laptops with embedded Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) enhanced Wi-Fi technology based on Airgo's True MIMO chipset.
The new Samsung X20 models will offer MIMO-enhanced wireless performance while maintaining complete interoperability with the 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a/g devices installed across the planet.
According to the company the new Samsung X20 laptops are based on Airgo's high-performance, cost-effective and power-efficient second generation True MIMO chipset technology that delivers faster, farther and more reliable wireless connectivity.
K.H. Uhm, vice president, marketing, Samsung, said, "Given their significant technology lead, Airgo's True MIMO is the best fit for embedded wireless in our new high performance Samsung X20 laptops. Together, we are enabling the mobile office by offering a standards-based platform with wireless connectivity that outperforms all other embedded solutions on the market."
Greg Raleigh, president and chief executive, Airgo Networks, said, "As people rely more on wireless connectivity for their computer networking at work and at home, they are learning that the quality of their wireless connection is one of the most important buying factors in choosing a notebook computer."
Airgo maintains that its second-generation, True MIMO chipset, is a high performance, cost-effective and low power alternative to the more basic Intel Centrino 802.11g and 802.11a/b/g. Airgo has reduced the overall bill of materials (BOM) cost by about 20 percent and reduced power consumption by 18 percent in this second-generation chipset.
According to third party testing conducted by The Tolly Group, Samsung laptops with embedded True MIMO technology provide a more reliable user experience with 8 times the speed and 13 times the coverage as compared to the same notebook model with the latest model of the Intel Centrino wireless card.
Power consumption testing also shows that Airgo True MIMO technology is 2.1 times more energy efficient than Centrino wireless, resulting in dramatically improved battery life when Airgo True MIMO solutions are embedded in the laptop.
